..............I'm sure you didn't take all this kit on your very first shoot though?
You need very little kit to start with. (you can then decide what you need as you grow).
Like i said previously it depends what standard you set when you start out. Price according to that standard and there will be many satisfied customers who just want a 'cheap' record of the day. Judge what the couple are after when you meet them and if it is initially beyond what you can do turn the job down. (most people are reasonable and only get upset if you promise something you can not deliver!)
So many of the pro's on here will try to put you off - It's your business and do what you want; don't be dis-heartened by the replies on here.
I've shot ten Weddings in my film days and everyone was extremely happy with the results; they wanted an 'affordable to them' product that I provided.
Kit I used:
Nikon FE2
Nikkor 50mm f1.8
Tamron Adaptall 2 70-210mm
Metz CT45 flashgun
Tripod
Reflector
A bag to put it in.
